Reviews

'Barack Obama...the Democratic Party's new rock star, is that rare politician who can actually write-and write movingly and genuinely about himself.' New York Times 'Beautifully crafted...moving and candid...this book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride's The Color of Water as a tale of living astride America's racial categories.' -- Scott Turow 'A beautiful reflection on an unusual background and a thoughtful analysis of what race means in America today.' Scotsman 'An honesty and self-awareness not always found in autobiographers, and more rarely in potential leaders of the free world.' Telegraph 'A remarkable story, beautifully told.' Observer
